Action against illegal stations
Asked what action would be taken against existing illegal stations, the Minister said legislation would be introduced in the autumn and would pass, with brief interjections about the previous Bill.
In view of the urgency which his colleague, Deputy Leyden, demonstrated on many occasions in this House about the regularisation of local radio, what action does the Minister intend to take against existing illegal stations? He has said that the legislation will not be brought before the House in this session. Will things carry on as at present? Has the Minister a view on the matter?
Comment on this
There is a question on the Order Paper in relation to action against illegal stations. When the legislation is introduced in the autumn, unlike previous attempts to get this legislation through the House, it will be passed.
